I've re-translated the CHS

#1 Post by zedraxlo »

The font is using Source Han Sans / Noto Sans by Adobe/Google, Apache License v2
And I suggest Ren'Py update Roboto to v2

Sorry, but what was wrong with the old translation?

Translation is too bad, like
- "Touch input is emulated through the mouse" is translated to "Touch input is emulated as the mouse"
- "Text input may not contain the ****" is translated to "Text input maybe not contain the ****"
- "The directory chooser may have opened behind this window." is translated to "The directory chooser will open after this window opened."
etc
And others more translations is suspected of using machine translation. Also, typos.

I've merged this, with the exception that I'm retaining the Droid Sans Fallback font, as it's half the size of Han Sans.

Here is a patch that modified 2 files.
For the font file size, I think I can remade a font which based on Source Han Sans that only 1-2M when I have ample time.

That would be great, but I'm not sure we want one with a limited set of characters, where we have to re-create it each time we modify the translation.

Also, if you could switch over to my files, I renamed Chinese_Simplified to simplified_chinese, to match the other languages (and how I hear the name of the language said in English).

If you can submit pull requests to github, that would be great - but I don't know if you can, there have been some political issues there.

Source Han Sans contain 30000+ chinese characters, so it is too large, but we only use 2000+ characters usually.
So there is some small font that only 900k or 1M.

I'm sorry I don't know how to use github.

If you cut it down to a reasonably standard set, we could go with that.
